GS3, I am not mad at you or frustrated cause of the wrong part #. I am just wanted to make sure these guys werent trying to pass on over on me. If anything, you have been a great help to me on figuring everything out for the swap. Nothing but a thanks is in order to you and everyone else who has helped me figure this install out. Its too bad I didnt get to install it myself. :cry

Gordon.....LBI is really nice....a buddy of mine lives there year round. Needless to say all of my friends are jealous.

Alwyn678, the buddy that has this car at the shop, his father has a cobra 427 making upwards of around 650HP and he's also running a TKO behind it...IM damn confident about the strength of them now :yesnod:

Quickvet, :skep: (thatz all i gotz to say foo, lata G)

We just stuck a TKO in my buddies Cobra......It shifts pretty sweet....It was about a 2 hour job to stick it in there.......Really easy

Just wait until it is fully broken in. It really shifts smooth then.
